CHAPTER 19 Tuesday, December 24th, 2019 6:35 A.M. EST WORLD END: T-minus 78 Days, 4 Hours, 25 Minutes The Oval Office The White House, Washington D.C. The President of the United States did not sit. He stood before the bulletproof window of the Oval Office, a stark silhouette against the pre-dawn darkness of the North Lawn. The room behind him was a tomb of tense silence, populated by the living statues of his war council. The air did not hum with debate; it was thic

You can tell when I've over written, my spelling and grammar go sideways LOL doing major rewrites to the ending of Throne today has me cross eyed. Still working out which way I want to go with it... and I have 11 hours to figure it out... >.< might need to sleep on it.

Steve's psychology is interesting... I think the only one who really "Understands" him is Enrico, he and Enrico are very similar, both brilliantly intelligent men in a world not designed for them. It's why he bonds with Steve in a way he doesn't with the others. Steve has no interest in money, it just kind of comes to him... it's too easy... Kenny is the first person who seems to genuinely love him for him and to him that is irreplaceable and priceless.

I do like how those to, more so than almost any other coupling I write about, are such a good fit for each other. Steve's simple, daft and all encompassing love for Kenny keeps Kenny from exploding into full on OCD panic. I mean come on, who wouldn't blush when a guy gives up 3 trillion just because he prefers your smile? And Kenny grounds Steve, holds him down when he tries to get to wild and manic. That explosive genius that could utterly ruin him if it weren't for Kenny holding him and calming him down. I look forward to more of those two, just being the best couple. They aren't goofy, sappy love, they're a team and they know it.

“That’s racist, right?” Brian who was himself half-Australian looked behind them. “That’s gotta be racist… or something… Astral-o-phobic… or… just plain rude!”

Operation: Southern Sleigh Ride ACT I: THE BRITISH RACING GREEN BEAST The sun over Sydney wasn’t just hot; it was an aggressive, blinding declaration of war on Northern Hemisphere sentimentality. It hammered the terracotta tiles of the Northern Beaches estate, bleached the sky to a pale, searing blue, and made the air quiver with heat. December here smelled of crushed eucalyptus, salt spray, and the peppery scent of frangipani—nothing like the pine-and-woodsmoke Christmas

Operation: Mistletoe Mayhem ACT I: THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE The Northern Beaches estate was so quiet Kenny could hear the hum of the refrigerator two rooms over. It was a low, steady note, like the house itself was breathing. For Kenny Jensen, this wasn’t just silence. It was a physical space inside his head where the static finally stopped. With Alex and Brian gone in that roaring green Jag—leaving behind a faint scent of vanilla and the echo of Brian’s terrible singing—Kenny

Christmas time in Australia. Alex has decided to get Brian a present. Brian, however, can't resist the big red button. Now how is Alex going to keep Brian from getting arrested and deported? Steve has decided to cook Kenny Christmas Lunch. It goes about as well as Kenny expects One day, one day, poor Kenny will get a quiet day of peace. Merry Christmas

You are right, disinformation has a grip on the Canadian side. CSIS doesn't know yet (it's only been a few hours, the Royal Navy don't have Andrew yet, so they aren't sure if the report is true) One of the key problems in this scenario is that they Americans control the encryption keys. Any attempt to contact Canada without end to end encryption will be intercepted. And so a call to say Andrew is ok (which neither MI5 nor CSIS can verify) could put Andrew in imminent danger of recapture, or more likely, get him shot.
